Specification

BODY SPECIFICATIONCHASSIS SPECIFICATIONLegislationThe Enviro500 double deck vehicles are designed to meet the legislative requirements of current ‘Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards’ (FMVSS) including ‘Americans with Disabilities Act 2010’ (ADA) and ‘Canadian Motor Vehicle Safety Standards’ (CMVSS) including CAN/CSA-D435-02 (R2012) for ‘Accessible Transit Buses’. double deck vehicles are also designed to meet American State and Canadian Provincial legislation where applicable. Fully Buy America compliant.

StructureThe low weight body structure consists primarily of aluminum extrusions and shear panels with the addition of stainless steel in areas of higher stress ensuring a high body stiffness and durability whilst minimizing the vehicle mass. All of the structural members are mechanically joined ensuring ease of repair following any form of collision damage.The top deck roof and interdeck consist of single piece composite panels significantly increasing the body stiffness with a reduction in weight compared to conventional construction. The top deck roof composite has high thermal insulation properties helping to prevent condensation.The body is rigidly fixed to a fully integrated stainless steel chassis frame optimized for low weight and high strength.Any risk of electrolytic corrosion between dissimilar metals is removed by the application of dielectric paint. The steel frame is treated with a wax injection technology prior to undersealing the completed vehicle.

Exterior PanelsExterior aluminum side panels are flush fitting with the glazing units giving a very clean, aesthetically pleasing appearance. Care has been taken to avoid protrusions including hinges and fixing heads to prevent build up of road dirt and to make cleaning easier. Panels in higher risk of damage from curbs including side skirts and lower corner moldings are quickly and easily replaced. Corner moldings are separate from the upper panels isolating potential damage and minimizing replacement costs.

GlazingMain body glazing is ‘direct bonded’ double glazed, flat toughened safety glass, tinted to reduce Solar, Light and UV transmittance with the option for full Single Pane ‘direct bonded’ glazing.
